Angiosperms are flowering plants. Is there a name for plants that have nuts? Basically I'm trying to set up a joke. I told my friend that poinciana trees were one of the few trees in florida that lose their leaves in florida. And I said "isnt that nuts? Lol just kidding. It's an angiosperm!"

i am sorry to break this news to you but nuts are fruits. not seeds (although the seeds are contained within the nut prison); the entire thing is botanically a fruit. just another day in the flowering plant hellscape

Am I late to the I hate america(ns) party? I immigrated here & the way some people, esp those who work in hospitals, schools, & other public service jobs treat non-English speakers with that "im not trying to be rude but this is America & its your responsibility to learn English" attitude gets on my nerves. Thats a direct quote from someone I had dinner with & I wanted to say, "you live in south FL with a high pop. of spanish speakers. It's your responsibility to learn a little spanish."

I’m in two minds about this. Firstly, people who call out other that are struggling to learn a language are absolute arseholes. Languages are difficult and also there are people who assume because someone speaks with a non-native accent that their spoken language is poor, fuck those cunts. It costs nothing to just be kind and understanding with people. The US and their ‘you’re in America, speak English’ is fucking jokes ‘cause they’re not English nor are they in England. America is a bastard nation who have no claim to anything, speak whatever language you wish.

The other side, this is perhaps specific to certain cultures or perhaps it’s more common, idk. I have an aunt who emigrated a lot later than my mum and her other siblings and when she and her husband arrived here She knew no English, we live in England, and because there’s a large South Asian community and her husband got a job working with other Indians and my aunt was a housewife, neither of them learnt the language. This became a problem for my cousins who had to grow up waaaaay too fast and started learning about finances and such from too young of an age and were translating adult thing and had adult worries when they shouldn’t have. 

So I understand your side but I do also think it’s important to work towards learning the language of the country you’re in, not appease the racists and idiots but to make your and your children’s lives easier. I mean, most of my cousins are going off to uni now and my aunt and her husband are gonna struggle when they’re alone. 

It’s just a personal experience. I know some of my asian school friends shared the same problem.

I'd like to suggest buying disinfectant liquid like Mr. Clean concentrated solution and then following the directions to dilute it. Then spray it on paper towels. Tada disinfectant wipes.

i am taking notes! i mainly use the wipe for my phone but i am debating on how effective those uv cleaning cases are...

5, 6, 7 for the ask!

5.what is your favorite thing about hockey?

It's something between the speed and technique. I've always been fascinated by how they do what they do so quickly and the more I learn while watching or playing myself the more awe-ing the speed and technique at the pro levels becomes. In order to do everything that happens on the ice there is so much multitasking with muscle groups all while keeping your head on a damn swivel while talking to the other guys on the ice to make a new play as the old play breaks.

6. first player you ever liked?

This French Canadian Puck

7. top five favorite players on your favorite team

Top 5?! Doesn't say on the current roster so:

Flower Tanger Sid Geno Dumo

im not exactly happy with the turnout but im okay because i remember all these articles of sid being trashed mercilessly by asshole parents and players and opposing fans and him just proving them wrong over and over and over again. like he's their captain and you bet that the pens are fired up to prove all of these people wrong. (And thank you for reminding people to chill out and being positive!!!)

sid’s been in the business of proving people wrong since the beginning of his career you’re right i don’t think that’s about to change any time soon

strangerfae replied to your post: Are there any female waterhorses?

What about in COFT, there was a female counterpart to the tikbalan right? Was that considered a female water horse?

Oh yeah, my list wasn’t exhaustive or anything, it was just giving examples of how other female waterhorses existed.

But Tigbalan isn’t a waterhorse - he’s a horse fae and not specifically connected to water. And Luma - while considered a counterpart - is actually an angitay, which is kind of like a centaur. :) But also not a waterhorse.

"is it true I could have him" literally demolished me. I was crying when he died and then i calmed down a little and then all of the emotions came flooding back when he said that line.

that line literally fucked my brain up. I didn’t even realize that really, he could have saved Newt had he stayed behind until he said it out loud. Like, I thought that they could have saved him if things were a little different, if Teresa managed to find the cure just a bit earlier, or if Newt stayed behind with Gally and took the syringe right away (which fuck it just occurred to me?? he literally could’ve potentially lived if he wasn’t so eager to find Minho). 

part of why Newt’s death in the movie is more devastating, in a way, than in the books, is that they were so close. so so so close to saving him. they had an actual chance. but they were just a smudge too late. im so sad.
